Another Apache problem

[tamvla]

Hello everyone,

Unlike everybody else, I can't even finish the installation. In the middle of the process I receive an error saying - Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address..) allowed: make_sock
However, Apache seems to be installed and Apache Service Monitor is running and http://localhost page is not displayed.  Have to mentioned that I followed a standard installation procedure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Welcome:

What platform, OS, installed programs etc. are you using and which version of Apache are you installing

Its likely you have another application using the port that Apache is trying to use. Check your httpd.conf file and see what the 'Listen' directive is set as. It usually is 80, 8000, or 8080. You can also go to the start menu START -> RUN -> cmd then click Ok

Note: Make sure Apache is turned off before doing this.
Once the command prompt window opens type in

netstat -a

then press ENTER on keyboard.

This way we can see if anything is listening on the ports above. Go to the drop down menu for the window click SELECT ALL then COPY and paste that to us. Edit out any personal info like your username etc if you wish before pasting.

Hi again,

Thank you for such a prompt reply. OS is Windows XP Professional and it's installed on Intel Pentium D. I tried to install Apache 2 and PHP5. All the files were downloaded from apache. org and php.net.I can't verify them just yet. "Listen" directive is set to 80.
Previously I installed Apache 2.2 without realizing it's not compatible with PHP 5. I had a similar problem with Apache 2.2 but somehow it worked.

This is what I got from cmd

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

Thank you very much for your help.

most probably : your apache 2.2 installation is still active and is "running as a service for all users [recommended]" (sic!) and you didn't uninstall it before installing the 2.0.59 or 1.3.x branch's Apache ;

PS Apache 2.2 works perfectly with PHP 5 (but it's only since some while now ; originally it didn't work)

Thank you. I did uninstall Apache 2.2 but maybe some pieces have been left out. I will do a clean installation and see how I go this time around. ;-)

(suggestion) first have a look in the management console (mmc.something in %windir%/%system32% or "my computer"/manage) to see if there isn't an old apache service running.
such things happen, especially if you've more than one user on the machine and some do not have administrative privileges but try to (un)install anyway... mangling made certain ;-)
